Levoxyl missed dose
Common Questions and Answers about Levoxyl missed dose
synthroid
How are you taking the cytomel? All at once or splitting it into multiple doses each day? Most of us taking a T3 med, find that we have to split the dose, at least into 2 doses/day...... For instance, I take 7.5 mcg (generic T3) and I take 5 mcg in the morning and 2.5 mcg around noon. Even though it's a small dose, if I take it all at once, I get hit with a "high", then crash really bad, later in the day.
Both your FT3 and FT4 have room to come up.
If you take a T4 AND T3 as a combined supplement, THEN it can make you a bit skew-iff by taking double dose the next day if you missed the previous day. It is the T3 which needs to be a daily dose which can cause you issues if you double up. Otherwise it is totally safe to double up the next day on your normal T4 meds.
I have been back on Levoxyl after being off it for 8 months.I felt good at first but going in to my third week -not so good.I feel very tired,legs are wobbly and like jelly at times.I just feel blah and like passing out at times.Is it possible the dose is too high?My doctor put me on 88 mcg when I was previously on 75.tsh was over 26 but I hear it corrects pretty qiuickly when back on meds.Any input would be appreciated.
I will probably either go back to taking my Nutri Thyroid at an increased dose or try Levoxyl. Has anybody got any experience with this drug or Evotrox Liquid ??
Thanks for any help and advice you can give me.

I am on Tecfidera 240 mg dose. It just occurred to me I missed the morning dose. I have a call into the specialty pharmacy for direction. I didn't find much on the web except "take it as soon as you remember and if close to your next dose take it then but don't double up". This is the first time I missed since starting therapy last month. I feel terrible. Is this incredibly bad?
Do I still take the ribavirin pills since I missed the dose? After 4 weeks I was tested and no virus was showing so I am worried that this is going to be a set back. I am anemic as well. Just need to know what to do??? Hep clinic closed for weekend as is doc office and pharmacist had no clue. Anyone been through this?
Your thyroid levels were fine and if you added the cytomel to the 100mcg of levoxyl, the TSH will likely be too low (ie, too much medication) and if you stay on cytomel, the levoxyl dose would need to be changed most likely.
The weight gain is not likely due to thyroid.
t know why I let her talk me into trying the Levoxyl. She suggested that I add the Armour (although a pretty low dose) and see if it helps me feel better. I've not heard of anyone trying this before so was kind of worried. I guess I'll give it a shot, it can't be worse. Thank you so much for answering me. I appreciate your time.
She ordered and EKG and and echocardiogram--normal, of course, cuz I was at rest. I asked her to lower my dose, but instead she switched me to the same dose of Levoxyl. That did it. My dose was increased since then with no problems.
I am not lactose-intolerant, and I have no idea what was in the Synthroid that sent my heart into arrythmia, but I have not had a problem since switching to Levoxyl. I've been on 100 mcg of Levoxyl for over 10 yrs now.
It states on the Levoxyl drug website that: In patients with severe hypothyroidism, the recommended initial levothyroxine sodium dose is 12.5-25 mcg/day with increases of 25 mcg/day every 2-4 weeks, accompanied by clinical and laboratory assessment, until the TSH level is normalized.
Does anyone know why?
could i be considered "severe hypothyroidism" with TSH of 102 and Free T4 .17?
If so, why would my doc want me to start with 88mcg - 100mcg?
I am currently taking 25mgs of levoxyl and everytime I take the pill i get a racing heartbeat and heart palpitations. I have called my doctor and the nurse there told me to take the pill every other day. i tried that but then I would get the palpitations on the days I would take it. Then I called back after a week and was told to take it every 3 days. I stopped for 3 days to get some of it out of my system and felt great. Not as many palpitations and i was able to sleep.
s the backstory. TT 11/14, RAI 1/15. Started on Levoxyl 150, then Tiro, Naturethroid for a long stint and then after feeling skinny yet too hyper, decided to return to Levoxyl 125 and 5 Cytomel 1/16.
I've been wanting to see if I can convert T3 alone so I dropped the Cytomel mid-February and raised my Tiro to 137 early March. End of March they raised it to 150 and I've been inquiring with friends when they noticed a drop in my energy.
Previous to that Leoxyl 150mcg for 3mo. Been going from dose to dose for last 2 years. I am still tired, cold feet, cold hands, moody, puffy, depressed, just to name a few. Considering Armour?. Is there a possible this could do the trick or should I stay with levoxyl? All my test show "normal" so of course the Dr. is comfortable with what I am on., but I AM NOT NORMAL. Any suggestions?
